Cool. Are you going to do fresh water or salt water?

This is the Motoro.
I paid $350 for a pair, male and female, in 1998. They were 8" round and 18" with their tails. My $2.99 Plec, who grew to 19" in the big tank, killed the male. I was livid.

The Pleco must have been quite hungry.stonedmegman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:24 pm This is the Motoro.

They have a gel coating on their bodies and need it to survive. The Plec took a liking to it.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:43 pmThe Pleco must have been quite hungry.stonedmegman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:24 pm This is the Motoro.

My suggestion is African Cichlids. Perfect for a 125.
Here is my current 125 setup.

I don't have the persistence to keep up an aquarium. I applaud those who do. Those shits are cool AF!
Congrats on the tank.

I have to look at my filtration options before going forward. It turns out this tank is tempered glass, so drilling for an overflow tube is out of the question.

I'm running two Fluval FX6 on this. If I could do it all over, I would do a drilled tank and a sump system. Much easier maintenance and outstanding filtration.stonedmegman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 5:31 pmSweet.BigChiefin wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 2:12 am My suggestion is African Cichlids. Perfect for a 125.

you got an excellent deal especially with lights included. Had 150 gal.salt tank for over 20 years ,miss it but not the maintenance . Do fresh tanks use a skimmer? Having a large tank is easier to maintain I think. Having a tank is like being a biologist ,a chemist,a nutritionist and veterinarian all in one but a good tank setup is hypnotic.stonedmegman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 8:07 pm One for myself. 125 gallon aquarium with stand and LED light for $200.

I went to pick up ammo for stocking stuffers and they had a boomstick in stock in the color I've been eyeing for awhile. Merry xmas to me

Indeed. The tank alone is $600 and up. Freshwater doesn't use a protein skimmer or ozone generator. Much easier to look after. And a large tank is much more stable with temp, pH and everything else.fouts wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 9:13 pmyou got an excellent deal especially with lights included.

A 12 gauge slug even from a short shell is going to do a lot more than maim.

GD, it's good to see you still posting Dude. Last of the overseas left. Probably re-watches Braveheart at least twice a month.Cyberhonky wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 6:53 amTrueQillerDaemon wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 3:41 pmYou forget the gracious manner that we Americans love to greet friendly strangers at our doorstep with...Cyberhonky wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:47 amSerious question- what is the practical use for this?

i can't imagine the excitement a fish must experience when they get the chance to live their life in a small glass box.
